It's not the only Pastime but it is one of America's favorite.

What else is then? Firearms? Great health care but only for those with money? An idiotic foreign policy stretching back to the invasion of Haiti in the '50s?
I think there are loads of great things about the US of Eh and baseball certainly deserves to be called America's Pastime over other things that are inexplicable in a nation that is pretty rich but also pretty messed up.

baseball is boring as **** to watch. I can watch in october but even the world series loses it's luster when a team is up by a couple of games. Summer sucks because basketball just ended and football hasn't started. This pat one was ok because of the world cup but baseball just ain't cutting it anymore.

Yes, have you seen baseball's attendance numbers?
Huge.
The NFL (which is an awesome game) has a huge presence because of gambling mainly. Football pools, betting, fantasy.
Baseball fills up their parks during the week as well. I still think baseball is number one when you get down to it.

Not as a spectator sport, that would be football. Spectator meaning in person and on TV
